Let's have us a clear-cut win come 2008, and what better way than for the Rethuglican Party to nominate a redneck version of Anne Coulter, eh?......

Is It France Yet?

As a rule, I rarely watch TV. Rarely. But, I was intrigued by this piece they ran on CBS' 60 Minutes last night, which I detailed a little earlier, about how our nation's chief financial controller says Medicare will wipe us out...

Drunkards, addicts, and adulterers, oh my! Repubs and their on-air supporters

Okay, I was reading something by Glenn Beck the other day and it struck me how similar his shtick and his psyche are to the many other ranting righters on the air.  Which led to some more thought and a little investigation into the some of the other personality traits and behaviors members of this breed of "conservative" have in common.

Quotes of the day from the one & only Laura Ingraham

If only she was in Graham instead of here:

Fox skews to the right only compared to everything else on television. On any national political spectrum it's pretty moderate and fair.
Laura Ingraham, in an interview with The American Enterprise magazine.

Elite is a state of mind. It doesn't mean working in a particular profession, living in a special place, or making a certain amount of money. When I talk about the elite in New York and Hollywood I'm talking about people who believe that America's traditional values are a thing of the past. The part of America outside their orbit is considered ignorable, merely fly-over country.
Ingraham again, in the same interview, explaining why she isn't one of the "elites" she always mocks, despite the facts that she attended Dartmouth College and the University of Virginia law school, clerked for a Supreme Court justice, worked in one of the country's top law firms, worked as a broadcaster on CBS and MSNBC, lives in Washington, D.C., and has a radio show in more than two hundred markets.

Wisconsin's SeniorCare must continue

I haven't posted here in over a year... I hope Lee and Six don't mind, but this is something near and dear to me, and I would like people to know about it.

And, I may just start posting again on a more regular basis -- Bwah, hah, hah, hah, haaaaaaaaaaaaaa.....

Those rising mortgage defaults that you don't really need to worry about

A few weeks ago I posted the item about the rising rate of mortgage defaults n the U.S. Since then, the official economic experts and gurus have been busy pooh-poohing the significance of this phenomenon. But if you read widely and closely, you start to see that the pooh-poohing is mostly for consumption by the unwashed masses.

Quote of the day, 3/3/07

You have the radical Muslims and the traditional Muslims. The radical Muslims, I would agree, oppose many fundamental features of our society; we can not convince them, we have to fight them. The traditional Muslims, on the other hand -- and I can give you an overwhelming amount of evidence to prove this -- support liberalism of the classical kind but reject liberalism of the modern kind; they support the liberalism of the Founders, they reject the liberalism of Hillary Clinton.

These are people who are totally in favor of democracy. They like the idea of being able to live wherever you want, to speak your mind. They believe in religious toleration. However, they don't believe in the right of blasphemy. Or they don't want their daughters to be given condoms before they get married. They don't believe in the social permissive liberalism of modern day America. So that's my point: that the cultural left, by pushing this liberalism on the rest of the world, is producing a backlash from traditional Muslims that is making those Muslims more vulnerable to the appeal of radical Islam.

Dinesh D'Souza, in an interview with the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, explaining why liberals are the problem even in the Middle East (but without, of course, explaining exactly how the "cultural left" is "pushing" liberalism on the rest of the world).

US Attorney firings: symbolic of the real "Bush Doctrine"

The White House and most Republicans would like the nation to believe that the "Bush Doctrine" consists of a commitment to preemptive attacks on those who would attack us, combined with a policy of treating nations who "harbor terrorists" the same as terrorists themselves." Bull.

More Bad Financial News: Medicaire Can Chapter 11 The US

Yep. Ain't pretty, is it? Over at CBS, a cute piece on how all us baby boomers are going to nuke the economy shortly....
